My furnace was installed with a fiberglass filter. Is it ok to switch to pleated?

Please read your furnace manual, but I have never heard of only using 1 kind of filter, any kind should work depending how much filtration you want.

Place the sheet over the existing air conditioner filter and it will cling to the surface. I tucked the extra fabric under, but you can cut it to fit.

When I replaced my unit, which was cracked, all I did was remove & replace- my furnace has an external sensor. I think you would be fine doing the same thing.

There are 2 filters. The outer filter is pleated measuring 9 1/2 X 16 1/2 X 2 inches. The inner filter is is "sock" type and is stated to trap dust down to 1 micron. The manual says both filters can be cleaned several times before they need replacing. I would discourage using a furnace type filter because they are not designed to filter dust down to the low particle size required to filter properly. Using such would most likely saturate the inner filter very quickly and could cause motor overload.

my pipe has a plastic filter in it that needs to be cleaned out regularly. as far as returning it, I don't know

Put the foam side towards the back of the filter holder. The fabric side should be facing you as you look at it. Hope this helped you.

The instructions given so far are for the new metal filter case. If you have the old plastic one, they are similar but as I remember the lower part was threaded on so you have to turn it several turns to remove it. These plastic ones are prone to cracking and leaking, and at one point Franke was replacing them free with metal ones (rather than pay for floor damage!); I don't know whether this is still true but Franke or your dealer could tell you.

No, it is a fiber filter, but a carbon filter can be used and will fit. Easy to change filter.

It is facing the right way. It may not be the right one for your furnace, if it looks like it is facing the wrong way.

http://www.pentairpool.com/products/filters-de-fns-plus-fiberglass-de-filters-61.htm Look at the dimensional dwg and you will see the models all have the same dimension between the inlet and outlet connections. I had an older 48sf filter and the new 60sf one fit where the old filter was, except I had to put a spacer under the new filter. The valve matched up perfect tho.

This is a pleated filter so the height can vary. I don't know what the maximum height it will fit. My owners manual for my filtration system stated that this is the replacement part for my unit, I bought it and it fit fine.

Yes Mrs Brooks, the primary charcoal/foam filter and the pleated Hepa filter were both in place when I unpacked my unit. All I had to do was read the instructions, plug it in and turn it on.

With the Filtrete material that I received recently, the instructions do not say anything about how to place the filter material so that one particular side faces the oncoming air and therefore the other side faces the outgoing air. I cannot see any difference between the two sides of the material that I received most recently, i.e. the reinforcing mesh is either on both sides or is centered. I vaguely seem to remember that several years ago, the instructions used to differentiate between the two sides and I could see that the reinforcing mesh was on one side rather than on both sides or centered. I'm assuming that you received your FIltrete material recently and the two sides seem identical.

Depends on how much the furnace runs, and the amount of particulates in the air. If you get one of these: G99 Air Filter Gage it will tell you when you should change the filter. When you're buying a filter this pricey, it will pay for itself.

Fred I wish I could help you. I have had my kit for 12 months now , just replaced the filter after 12 months. It was dirty but not bad. We have 2 cats and 2800 sq. feet of living space, a 22 year old standard furnace 80% eff. I am happy with the up grade. Can't really comment on Merv and strain on furnace.
